Hello HCM Community,

 

After a successful conference in Las Vegas in March and Amsterdam in June, we are back with HR Insider 2013 in Singapore from September 3-rd to 5-th, 2013. We have an agenda full of exciting topics on both SAP OnPremise HCM Solutions as well as SuccessFactors! In this post I want to inform you about the ‘must see sessions’ that will give you an overview of what’s new from SAP for HR.

 

Tuesday

 

Overview: On Tuesday Ralf Wagner, head of HCM Solution Management at SAP will open the event with a key note: The 2013 guide to core HR enhancements: On-premise and cloud.’ During his keynote he will talk about the most recent enhancements made to core SAP ERP HCM solutions, as well as the integration capabilities between SAP ERP HCM and SuccessFactors.
